Geocache Description:

Welcome to the North Vancouver Public Art Geocache experience, brought to you by the North Vancouver Recreation & Culture Commission! Through the delivery of cultural services initiatives, including a renowned public art program, we respond to and reflect upon the diversity and creative spirit of this community.  We are pleased to be able to show you some wonderful examples of the public art. You will find that each one has a unique story to tell.

As with all the Public Art caches, you will see some interesting art that has been placed on public land. Because this is a multicache, the container is NOT located at the posted coordinates. You can start your search at the first waypoint, at William Griffin park by Mosquito Creek.

 

Eventually is a triptych of three distinct but related sculptures located in parks across North Vancouver. Over time, natural forces will continue the form-making that has been initiated at each site. Granite was sculpted to simulate weathering and erosion that would normally take many thousands of years to occur.

The Artist - Adam Kuby: With a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture and a Bachelor of Arts in landscape design and environmental studies, much of Adam Kuby's work explores how man-made sculptures can be transformed to be more ecologically responsive and how the built environment can better co-exist with the natural. In addition to these three pieces, Kuby has also done public art projects in Calgary, Seattle, and Portland.

To locate the cache container, you must visit each of the three Eventually sites listed in the waypoints below to gather some necessary info. You don't need to visit the sites in numerical order, but your path to the final location will be shorter if you visit Eventually #3 last.

Please take some time to enjoy the art, take some photos, maybe explore the area for more art, and don't forget to post your comments about your favourite piece in this multi-cache.

As always have a great Geocache time and I hope you have a chance to visit the other public art locations around the North Shore.

NOTE: The original posted coordinates for this cache, N 49° 19.052′ W 123° 04.112′, are at St. Andrews park. Although at the moment, it has nothing to do with the solving of this multi-cache, this little community park is home to no less than FOUR Public Art pieces: Gateway, Rain Garden, Living Ruin, and St Andrews Kids Art. If you visit the park, see if you can find them all !
